The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 491 The Tomb of the Gods, Jianmu

"May I ask if the Star Lord would allow me to leave?" Luo Zu said with a smile.

But the Star Lord of Greed denied it, saying, "I did not create this world, and I cannot help you unravel it. It was only by secretly sneaking in that I was able to do so, and with your creation of this place, which is both free and wondrous, that I was able to remain undetected and chat with you about these things."

Luo Zu's words were merely a test. Of course, such a simple test would never yield any concrete results, but at least it revealed that the Star Lord of Greed was not the one who set up this calamity.

As for who it was, we had guessed before, but now it's pretty obvious.

"Those who tied the knot must untie it, but since you, Star Lord, possess such great power, could you please deliver my message to the Tushita Palace?" Luo Zu said again.

This can be considered a roundabout way to achieve our goal, and of course, it's also a test.

Greedy Wolf Star Lord naturally understood what Luo Zu meant.

He simply shook his head slightly: "This is a difficult matter."

"What about Wuzhuang Temple?"

The Star Lord of Greed was slightly taken aback: "I am aware of what you and the Star Lord of Greed discussed. Longevity Mountain is indeed separated from the Primordial World by the great supernatural powers of Zhenyuan Daxian. We Star Gods also intend to project the starry sky of the newly created world by Zhenyuan Daxian."

"However, since He has used this matter, we cannot force it any further. Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry about it."

After saying this, the Star Lord of Greed took another illusion made of starlight and handed it to Luo Zu.

"I have removed the official position and authority of the Star Lord Tanlang and have now sent him to the Tomb of the Ancient God to serve as its guardian."

"Ancient God's Tomb?" Luo Zu wondered.

Just as he was about to guide the memories of this aspect from the consciousness of the Vengeful Gu God General, the Greedy Wolf Star Lord took the initiative to tell the origin of the Ancient God Tomb.

"That ancient god's tomb was trapped in the end of the primordial era, a time of utter stillness and death, where time ceased and the universe was stagnant. It was the slumbering place opened up by the ancient Heavenly Emperor. Later, the great gods of the Earthly Emperor and Human Emperor eras—what you call the primordial gods and demons—despised all things in the world, including their own existence, and thus followed the Heavenly Emperor into slumber here. Gradually, this place became the dwelling place of the gods after their 'death.'"

"Those who enter the ancient god's tomb will never be able to return, unless..." The Star Lord of Greed left this as a mystery.

"Unless what?" Luo Zu chimed in.

The Star Lord of Greed laughed heartily: "Unless the Emperor awakens."

"So, that ancient emperor didn't..."

"Be careful what you say," said the Star Lord of Greed, stopping Luo Zu from speaking further.

"What about the Earthly Emperor and the Human Emperor?" Luo Zu tactfully changed the subject.

The Star Lord of Greedy Wolf remained silent and did not answer, but instead cast starlight into the hand of the Ancestor of Luo.

It makes sense when you think about it. The Three Sovereigns of antiquity each led an era, and even beings like the Three Pure Ones could only bow down and submit to them back then.

This idea shouldn't be allowed to pop into his head, otherwise the big shots will get angry with him.

"For now, I can only give you an explanation for this matter. Afterwards, you can recite my divine name, Lord Tanlang. If I have time, I will give you the subsequent compensation." After Lord Tanlang handed over the starlight, his body gradually collapsed.

He was about to leave.

Although Luo Zu wanted to stop him, firstly, his own cultivation was insufficient, and secondly, the other party had made it very clear that he could only come here temporarily to give Luo Zu an explanation. Moreover, he also made it clear that Luo Zu would not perish here, but would leave this place sooner or later, but he did not know when.

As for compensation, it was just an explanation from the Star Lord of Greed to certain important figures who were on the side of the Ancestor of Luo.

If He doesn't want to give it, can Luo Zu go to His door armed and demand it?

He definitely doesn't have that ability now.

So he should just accept it for now; it's already a blessing for him to be valued so much.

Luo Zu watched as the Star Lord of Greed collapsed back into a concept, and then the concept gradually vanished, turning into something that never existed at all.

Even when Luo Zu tried to observe space and time using Taiyi's current characteristics, there was no trace of His existence. Only some of the conversation content remained in Luo Zu's memory, but some of the content had been hidden and turned into extremely abstract and distorted images, and the audio information was also gradually distorted.

Luo Zu was moved by this, but he did not stop him, since he had long since made it a habit to leave a copy of all his memories in his primordial spirit world.

"Let's take it one step at a time and see how it goes," Luo Zu sighed.

At this moment, his physical body, which had fallen to the mortal realm, had transformed into a new celestial stone, which landed in the human race's current camp.

Such a scene terrified many people. At that time, some human experts tried to destroy the strange rock that had suddenly fallen from the sky. However, after several attempts, they spent a lot of manpower and resources and destroyed many magical treasures used to fight giant demons, but they still could not destroy it.

In the end, they could only helplessly watch as this "heavenly stone" fell into the camp and turned into a hundred-foot sapling.

Why is it that a hundred feet tall is still just a sapling? It is naturally because of its appearance. The last plant experts of the human race carefully examined and studied it, and made such a definite judgment.

Since the experts had said so, the leaders of the human camp no longer focused on the fact that the saplings were a hundred feet tall, but instead began to consider where the human race should migrate.

But the world is so vast, where can we find a new home now?

Even overseas, demons have taken over, as if the entire world has become the domain of demons.

However, just as they were discussing this, the hundred-foot sapling that had fallen from the sky suddenly began to grow taller in the wind.

It grew to a height of 100 li in a single day, and pushed the land of the human camp, making its diameter reach 30 li.

Seeing this, the humans tried to cut down trees, but failed. Steel knives and iron axes shattered upon contact, and magic spells and artifacts lost their power. There was no way to overcome this, and no one could cure it.

Ultimately, the human race could only accelerate their migration.

They migrated from this place and went to a distant land.

Squads of human warriors, having sworn an oath, broke out of the human camp, using old human maps to search for possible new human settlements.

In just one month, the human race lost more than 30,000 warriors, yet they still could not find a new camp, while the great tree grew taller and taller, occupying more and more land.

Now it can pierce through the sea of ​​clouds, and is much higher than the highest peak in the world... much higher.

Just then, Wang Ping'an and the others finally returned from their voyage.

They had naturally seen this strange and magnificent sight early on, and once they reached their camp, they immediately rushed to the base of the tree.

The tree trunk is like a mountain, the roots are like a dragon, and the crown soars into the clouds. Only a few green leaves can be seen adorning the clouds from the slightly forked branches.

"This tree... is so big." Bai Amin stood under the tree, looked up and let out a long sigh.

The Golden Serpent Sword Sect and Wang Ping'an remained calm.

"Is He a demon?" Bai Amin turned to look at the two of them.

"It's not a demon. We've already tested it, and not only that, demons don't dare to get close to it," the human leader explained.

"Huh? If that's the case, why bother finding a new campsite?" Bai Amin asked curiously.

The leader of the human camp replied, "Demons are not allowed to enter within thirty miles, and humans are not allowed to stay within thirty miles for an extended period. Moreover, demons loathe Him and have always wanted to destroy Him."

"In order to attack Him, they have been attacking our camp relentlessly, much more fiercely than before."

"If that's the case, why not use His power to kill the demons?" Bai Amin asked again.

However, after asking that question, he realized he was being foolish.

Humans have gone to great lengths to eliminate demons, even seeking help from legendary gods and offering human sacrifices, but to no avail. Other poisons and malevolent forces...

But in the end, all attempts failed, as if the whole world was helping the demons.

So how could the human race not be tempted by such a nemesis of demons? How could they not take advantage of it to eliminate demons?

But now the human race wants to withdraw from this place, which means they have failed to make use of it. If they continue to wear down the demons like this, they will surely be wiped out.

Wang Ping'an and the Golden Serpent Sword Sect clearly saw this, so they didn't ask any further questions.

"Legend has it that there once stood a Jianmu tree between heaven and earth..." Wang Ping'an then spoke.

"Is there such a legend?" Bai Amin stared in disbelief.

My grandfather told me.
